I wish all of you good mamas a beautiful day! I know that some of you grew up without your biological mom, some that weren’t there due to their own inabilities, and mothers that were abusive. For this I’m sorry. I send you pure love.

Luckily, my mom has always been there for me. My mom is a good woman, a strong woman. She endured much as she supported us. Working two jobs during Christmas seasons to provide for us. She made sure we were taken care of and still does to this day.

Thankfully, I inherited her work ethics among her many positive traits. I love you mom!

May you celebrate the good mothers in your life! May you have peace and understanding, even heal from the damage if the mothers in your life were downright awful.

It never fails that I get caught driving in the first hardcore snowfall of the season. Last night was no different.

Even though the mountain pass drive was treacherous and both hands were on the wheel, I’m grateful that I was able to deliver some Christmas gifts to my daughter and grandbabies (I have two). I played Santa in true “flying” through the snow fashion!

May this Solstice bring comfort and safety; may you honor this winter season. ❄️
